The joint venture between ACME Group and Japan's IHI Corporation has secured long-term financial support from Japan's government for its 405,000-tonne green ammonia project in Odisha. Under Japan's Contract for Difference (CfD) subsidy programme, price support will cover 228,000 tonnes annually for 25 years starting September 2030, bridging the cost gap with conventional ammonia. Additionally, 177,000 tonnes are included under Japan's Long-Term Decarbonised Power Source Auction, enhancing the project's commercial viability and supporting India's green hydrogen goals. The plant is expected to be commissioned by July 2030 at Tata Steel SEZ Industrial Park.
